Well, we need a term for that then.  I've been adovcating "closure"
as when "all > 0", whether named or anonymous.

But if you have a better term (that doesn't take more than three
words) for the subroutines that generate a different CV when created
as opposed to those that don't, I'm all for it.

If "all subroutines are closures", then the term loses its usefulness
within the Perl world.
